GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida saw 121 student-athletes named to the 2023-24 Southeastern Conference First-Year Academic Honor Roll by league commissioner Greg Sankey. Grades from the 2023-24 academic year determine the 2024 SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll.
Today’s announcement sets Florida’s record at 433 for total of student-athletes named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in a single season. The record has been reset twice since 2020-21 (378 in 2020-21 and 2021-22 and 410 for 2022-23 academic year). Florida placed 312 on SEC Academic Honor Rolls (137 on fall list; 64 winter, 111 on spring) and 121 on the First-Year Honor Roll.
Jocelyn Erickson was named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I Player of the Year and also earned the SEC Player of the Year award.
2024 SEC Swimmer and Freshman of the Year Bella Sims earned a spot on the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. Two other SEC Freshman of the Year honorees – Megan Hinnenkamp (soccer) and Keagan Rothrock (softball) join Sims on the list.
They are among 15 Gators who earned both SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll status and 2024 All-America accolades.
